How I feel: Grief Journal for Kids
Help kids ages 8 to 12 work through their feelings and begin healing after loss
It’s normal for kids to have a lot of big feelings after they’ve lost someone or something important to them. This guided journal is filled with prompts and exercises that encourage kids to explore their emotions, find comfort and peace, and hold their memories close to their heart forever.
What sets this book apart from other grief books for children:
A focus on feelings—Kids will learn about the many emotions that can come with grief and find prompts that encourage them to write about whatever feelings they’re experiencing.
Many ways to process loss—In addition to writing and drawing prompts, kids will discover simple activities and meditations to help support their healing.
An easy format—Kids can work through this journal in any order and at their own pace—every day, every week, or whatever feels right for them.
Lift the weight of grief with prompts and exercises for finding peace
There is no right or wrong way to process grief. That’s why this guided journal is designed to help you untangle and understand your emotions at your own pace, in the way that feels right for you. Through gentle but insightful journal prompts and activities, you’ll learn new ways to carry memories, lessons, and love as you move forward in your healing journey.
Grief isn’t linear―This journal is loosely structured around the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) but is meant to be used in any order you prefer.
Proven methods―These thoughtful techniques are based in positive psychology, CBT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based strategies for dealing with grief and loss.
Hope and inspiration―Along with space to write and reflect, you’ll find quotes and positive affirmations to remind you that you’re not alone.
Begin the path to healing with a grief journal that shows you the way.
Voices of Strength: Sons and Daughters of Suicide Speak Out
Learn about the experience of surviving parent suicide in this comprehensive and therapeutic book.
Statistics show that there is one suicide every 16.1 minutes, and thus, six new survivors of that suicide every 16.1 minutes. In this deeply moving but also practical book, authors Judy Zoints Fox and Mia Roldan share the results of their survey of children of a parental suicide. Exploring the ways their lives have been affected and addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical effects, daughters and sons of all ages — from children to adolescents to adults — reveal their reactions. The authors link these responses to the insights of therapists, clergy, a criminal investigator, and others — friends, classmates, work colleagues, relatives — as they discuss what is helpful to suicide survivors and what is not. Voices of Strength helps survivors make sense of life's least understandable act and shows them how to heal by focusing on comfort, memories, recovery, and hopes for a productive future.
